Product Information
Famous Noro colours. Japan's Noro yarns are designed by yarn artist Eisaku Noro, who is is famous for his inspirational colour and fibre combinations.
Unexpected treasure.Noro's self-striping yarns have such long colour repeats that sometimes you can be surprised by an unexpected colour in the middle of the ball that wasn't visible from the outside. An end-on view of the ball gives some idea of the treasures within.
Now for socks. Kureyon Sock is Noro's first yarn produced specifically for socks. It is a spun single with wool for warmth and nylon for strength. The yarn feels somewhat stiff in the ball, but knitters report that it softens and becomes comfortable after washing.
Rainbow of colours. The 182 colourway has a rainbow of vivid colours including turquoise blue, pink, magenta, yellow, orange, indigo and emerald green.
